WXTV-DT, channel 41, is the flagship station of the Spanish language television network Univision, licensed to Paterson, New Jersey, USA and serving the New York City metropolitan area. The station is owned by Univision Communications, as part of a television duopoly with UniMás owned-and-operated station WFUT-DT (channel 68). The two stations share studios and offices in Teaneck, New Jersey, and WXTV's transmitter is located at the Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan.

WXTV first signed on the air on August 4, 1968, originally operating as an independent station, carrying programs in both English and Spanish. The station originally operated from studios located at 641 Main Street in Paterson, New Jersey, but its facilities were later moved to 24 Meadowlands Parkway in Secaucus and then to its current facilities in Teaneck.

In 1970, WXTV became an entirely Spanish-language station, and affiliated with the Spanish International Network, which became Univision in 1987. Since the mid-1980s, WXTV has used the slogan A su lado, an adaptation for the Hispanic market of the On Your Side campaign created by Frank Gari, and even used the similarly named news music package for a time.

The September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center did not affect WXTV's over-the-air signal, as WXTV's transmitter was based at the Empire State Building. WXTV and WCBS-TV (channel 2), who had a full-powered backup transmitter at the Empire State Building, were the only major New York City stations whose over-the-air signals were not disrupted. For a time until the other English stations could re-establish emergency transmission bases at Empire or the Armstrong Tower, WXTV's anchors reported in both languages for viewers without pay access to local English stations.
